I Hope I Dance :)

Click here: I hope you dance

After listening to this song on the way home from work I started thinking about the meaning of the lyrics. On top of this being a great song to sing to, it has some AMAZING lyrics! In my life there haven't been many times when I "dance". I often let my fears take over a situation or an opportunity and I miss out on what could have been. This is quite unfortunate because the few times I have "danced" have proven to be some of the best experiences I've had. For instance: Camp Tatiyee. Where on earth would I be with out this camp? My first summer there I was 16 years old, never had a job, never been away from home and was rather shy. So many times in that first week I wanted to quit and have my mom come and get me. But I didn't. I danced. And because of that my life was changed.

Here is a line from this song "Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance."
Faith is something we could all use a little more of. It is unfortunate that for a lot of us our loved ones have more faith in us that we do in ourselves. My lack of faith in myself has been an on going battle for as long as I can remember. When I lose faith in myself, I turn to my Heavenly Father to help me find it. So far he hasn't failed me. Another line from the song "Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance" I am a strong believer in the power of prayer and that when we have faith, anything is possible.

This post may be just a bunch of blabbing. But if you gain any insight from it, I hope it is that we need to DANCE more. Take chances! Have faith! Live! Love!

- Nothing major was wrong with my car!(though they have 1,000 dollars worth of "suggested" work)
- I GET TO SEE MY MOM TOMORROW!
- My Daddy is a wonderful man!
- I have some pretty amazing friends!
- Soon I get my big bed back, which means MORE PILLOWS!
